Always a pleasure to wake up to a new SPQR Blues. And this is going to be an interesting thread ... is Menander one of the "items" in question? And which one is now "long gone?" Is the other "item" going to end up part of Felix's posse? Inquiring minds want to know. Soon!
I like SPQR Blues very much, and I've been lurking around here for a long time, always blown away by the very low-key but intense drama of the comic. Of course, the first time I'll make a comment is to divide over some silly little detail ...
When you write north of Jerusalem, I was thinking more of Caesarea or Tyre. Joppa (today's Jaffa, swallowed by Tel Aviv) is more to the northwest, even west-northwest, isn't it?
(Yes, I'm weird like that. I enjoy discussing pointless little details in history and geography.)
Nice to meet you, and I love your icon :) Thank you so much for the feedback.
Yes, you're right--Joppa is actually a bit of an in joke for a co-worker. But I may change "north" to "northwest" :)
And Rosencrantz and Guildenstern will be travelling much much farther east. The next comic is pretty much ready, now I just have to get it scanned. By tonight, I hope!
